Athens has promised twenty-fire thou sand dollars to the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railroad. Only fourteen thou sand has been raised so far. Ths meet ing of the directors takes place in this city on the serenth of April, and it will nerer do for Athens to be short in her promised amount. The good name of the city is at stake. I,et the proper par ties at once go to work and raise the eleven thousand dollars necessary. The matter is of the gravest moment, ami no time should be loBt. AN EVIDENT DUTY. The pcoplo of Athens should see to it that the delegates to the railroad con vention in Athens on 7th April areenter- tai.ied in a becoming way. No more im portant meeting has ever keen held in our city. It is fraught with great conse quence to the people of this section, to the State and the whole South. The Georgia, Carolina & Northern Railroad, when built, will be the one competing system in ths South. The .movement which has this enterprise before it rep resents brains and boldneas and capital. It la an suspicious occasion which places the first general meoting of the friends and projector! in Athens. Now tjie city should see to it that these delegates are entertained hand somely. Wo owe it to the road and to ourselves that this convention should be promoted by substantial interest and en livened by t freo hospitality. Our citi zens should hold a public meeting and organise for this occasion. A schedule of co-operation and a plan of entertain ment should be provided. Athens has a most important matter on her hands, and the compliment of being the central city in this new system must be recognized in a fitting way. Let our people take this matter in hand and prepare for the Seventh of April. We cannot get to work too soon. The matter ia an important one. The principle involred is mors thiu dollars sml cents. It ia one that appeals to the love of justice and fair play among the people. We hare confidence in ths city council’s ability to satisfactorily settle the matter, and we believe that when the matter comes before it they will treat it with £hs consideration it de- serres. Kari.y nest month there will be tn important railroad meeting in Athens. All along the line from Atlanta to Ath ens and from Athens to the Carolinaline, representative men from the towns and cities along the line will come to Athens. Our people should prepare a big recep tion for these people, and make their visit to the growing-metropolis of Northeast Georgia a memorable one. The “slate makers” admit that, they want to whip out the present Congress man. Well, the “slate makcas” will have to make a very early start from their country retreats to get to town on time. It is unfortunate for the “slate makers” that Dr. Carlton wilt have a two years' record of splendid services to the dis trict to strengthen his present hold on the people. British A mu. is pending before the Commons to prohibit (he publication of the details of sensational divorce cases. This will no doubt prevont the English papers from laying those salacious para graphs before their readers, but what protection will the people of America have from tho so-called enterprise of the public press in this country? RAILROAD ISSUE. Early in April the Binnir-Watcmuk will issue a special railroad edition, which will come out during the convention o railroad delegates in Athena. It will com prise a full review of the two new lines which are now making their way Athens, the country along the route, and the proepects which tho railroads bring to Atheng. We intend this itsi.e to pre sent a picture of the railroad outlook together with a full account of tho pro ceedings of the convention of delegates ban., It will go out as a minute of this meeting, together with an account up to that time, of the progress of the Macon * Athens. It will be the slxe of our weekly end will contain important notices from pur best and moat progressive busi ness men. The Banner-Watchman will keep its friends advised of the progress of this edition. The Brooklynites arc crying for tight and lamps. Our streets should be work ed and other necessary improvements made before the people ol Brooklyn are furnished with free oil. THE RAILBOAD COMMISSION. The President has Appointed the fol lowing gentlemen ta Railroad Commis sioners as provided for by the Inter-State Commerce bill; Thomas M. Coe'ey, of Michigan, for six years; William R. Mor rison, of Illinois, five years; Augustus Schoevmaker, of New York, four years; Aldace P. Walkqr, of Vermont, three yean; Walter L. Bngg, ef Alabama, two yean. Messrs. Cooley and Morrison are well known gentlemen, end will make excel lent membon of tbo commission. The New York and Vermont appointees are not well known. Bngg, of Alabama, Is perhaps tho weakest man of tho South ern Applicant^ and wa cannot undar- siaiid the reasons for hi* appointment. In the whole, however, the commission !& satisfies on. Tint oldest inhabitant comes to the entrain, and declares tho fruit crop feia’t Mtany.*‘ One of President Cleveland’s physi cians declares that unless he takes more exercise he is liable to drop olf at any moment. The President has enormously increased in tlesh since he has been in Weshingtan. Suppose he begins to turn the rascals out—no exercise will be more conducive to health and prosperity than this. The plan to soatter tin lamps and dis tribute the cruse of oil among tho popu lation of Brooklyn does not meet with general favor. Suburban lighting has not been attended with the best results so far, and we oppose this ordinance without any prejudice .to our colored citizens. A fine old mansion on Prince avenue is said to be irfested, ao to speak, with the ghost of its former owner. The Ton sequences are that the chicken coop on those particular premises shows no signs of being tampered with in tho dead hours of the night. -THE _ BESTTDNIC. 3 This medicine, combining Iran with puro MV tonics, |uicklj^and ^oom^Ictely Kmi^lMSSwS'ssdfsiiii ifIs uraSShwimety (he Diseases of the ^IMiPTnveluablejEr Diseases peculiar to Women, and all who lead aedentarjr liven It doss not InjhMO the Weth.ee me hesds-Sie rs produce coostlperiod—ctAer Iren mattMMi da It enriches and purlSet the blood, simulates the appetite, aids the aarimilatlon of food.ire lieves Bearibnrn slid Belching, and Krength- am the mmole* and nerves.

Waehington, D. C„ Sept. 24. 1884. Dear Sir—Wbydon’t you got a certifi cate from Col. W. II. W„ of Baltimore, showing how ho cured himsclfof drunk- cness by the help of Hop Bitters. Ills is a wonderful case. Ho Is well known in Rochester, N. Y, bv all the drinking people' there. He is known in this city, Cincinnati, New Orleans, New York; In fact all over tho country, as ho has spent thousands of dollars for rum. I honestly believe his card would be worth thousands of dollars to you in this city and Balti more alone, and make thousands of sober men by inducing the use of your bitters. Prejudice liiUt, “Eleven years our daughter suffered on a bed of misery under the care of several of the best physicians, who gave her.dlseaso various names but no relief, ana now sho Is restored to us tn good health by Hop Bitters, that we bad poohed at two years before using it. Wo earnestly hope and pray that no one k suffer os wo did, good also wlit let their slcl on account of prejudice against so good a medicine as Hop Bitten.”—The Parent* —Good Template.
